some old tiles i found...

I found these old tiles in an antique store, in North Carolina, while visiting my family this summer.

I sprayed them white, a couple of coats, let them dry well.
Rubbed them with stain to bring out the pattern.  

Not sure if I LOVE them, a little too dark.
I hung them in my dining room, which was the plan.
They might get painted again in the future:)

the best place to sit at our house...




This is our favorite place to hang out at our house...the back deck, when the weather is nice anyway.
I wish we had underground electrical wires here but it's still beautiful.
Every night the sky is a different color.
Aaaahh...I'm not bragging, just blogging:)
  

This is an old egg basket my grandmother gave me. Strange that they used metal baskets to carry delicate eggs out from the chicken coop. I folded a piece of burlap to intertwine around it. I have all different types of baskets around my house to hold magazines, catalogs,photo albums and books for the kids. They're great to just throw into a corner somewhere.
